The Thought–Feeling–Action Triangle helps you understand how your inner world works.
It shows that:

🧠 Thoughts → create your interpretations
💛 Feelings → come from how you think
🫶 Actions → are shaped by how you feel

And together, they form a cycle 🔁 that influences your reactions, habits, and wellbeing.

When you can spot which part of the triangle is driving you, you gain the power to slow down, shift your perspective, and choose a healthier response. 🌿✨

Forest bathing (Shinrin-yoku) isn’t exercise, hiking, or a workout.
It’s the intentional practice of slowing down in nature and engaging your senses to calm your nervous system.

You don’t “do” anything.
You simply notice:
🍃 What you see
🐦 What you hear
🌿 What you smell
🤍 How your body feels

Research shows forest bathing can reduce stress, calm anxiety, improve mood, and support better sleep.

It’s not about escaping life—it’s about letting nature regulate what your mind has been carrying.
